"We're not familiar with this place, though. We might not necessarily find the way out after leaving this grass hut. Besides, we might even get eaten alive by the beasts in the mountains.”
I pursed my lips and said, "They plan to take us out of the border, so this should be some village near the border."
The girls looked at me and said a little incredulously, " We’re near the border?"
"Are they planning to sell us abroad?"
I did not know the answer to this question. I thought these guys planned to sell me abroad too at first, but what the woman from before said raised my suspicion. If they were not doing it for the money, then why did they want to send us abroad?
The rich-looking girl said, "Whatever it is, we can't just sit around and wait for our doom. Why don't all of you come closer to me and let’s think of a way to untie the ropes first?"
Therefore, the girls leaned together and sat back to back, trying to untie each other’s ropes.
"Darn it! This rope can’t be untied!"
I tried to untie another girl's ropes and realized that it
could not be untied either. They must have tied it in a special way.
Two girls started crying. I finally had a clear view of the situation. These girls seemed to be from well-off families and were all very well-protected since they were kids, hence they had never experienced such terrifying things before.
Hence, came the question. Just how powerful were the people behind this to be able to kidnap so many rich families’ daughters and bring them here successfully?
I pursed my lips and asked, "How were you taken here?"
